Essays on Current Issues

think tanks, financial institutions, and governments to develop effective “early-warning” models focusing on numerous predictors (Edwards, 2001) including current account deficits. Noticeably, the role of the deficits behind major financial collapses has been in the centre of great controversy. On one hand, some scholars have argued that current account deficits should be seen as a threat towards the stability of the world economy and thus should be properly dealt with while on the other hand, the

keep net sales nearly the same over the course of the three years. Diamond Foods current ratio has increased continuously over the between 2013 and 2015. In 2013 it was at 0.8 and by 2015 it was at 2.1. Overall, Diamond Foods has the ability to meet its short-term obligations using the liquidity ratios because their total current liabilities decreased in 2014 from $290.6 million to $133.5 million, while total current assets remained around the same amount from 2013 to 2015. Diamond Foods debt/equity

frequency is related to the mechanical frequency. The first lab performed consisted of doing two different tests, the open-circuit and short-circuit tests, respectively. By performing these two basic tests, it can be determined the armature voltage and current changes drastically with each test. The second lab performed required to use the synchronous machine as a generator. When acting like a generator, it becomes necessary to

Batteries, Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”, watch what happens, adjust some variables Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery, label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. Answer: The electrons

are devices used to give a desired value of resistance. They are inserted into a circuit in order to lower the current of to produce a desired voltage drop. There are two kinds of

Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 3 MATLAB SIMULATION 4 DISCUSSION 8 REFERENCE 10 INTRODUCTION Synchronous generators or alternators are synchronous machines used to convert mechanical power to ac electric power. Nowadays, an isolated synchronous generator supplying its own load independently of other generators is very rare. Such a situation is found in only a few out-of-the-way applications such as emergency generators. For all usual generator applications, there is more than one generator

The Basic Parts The Basic Parts There are just five basic parts in a radio frequency communication system. These are: * Antenna * Amplifier * Filter * Mixer * Source These five parts are then put together to do one of two basic functions: transmit or receive. The name of the resulting device is a radio. The radio also may go by many other names based on marketing considerations or its specific role in the wireless network. A radio is used to send and receive a signal that

prediction circuit generates common MSBs from a data memory that stores the digital results of the pixels in the previous row. Then the judgement circuit creates two analog boundary voltages based on the predicted MSB values and check whether the current pixel’s analog value is between the two boundary voltages based on Eq. (1). Finally, if the predicted MSB values are correct, the ADC only performs the LSB conversions. Otherwise, the ADC performs a full A/D conversion. This algorithm can be implemented

 Review of Hierarchical Control of Droop-Controlled AC and DC Microgrids—A General Approach Toward Standardization Naresh Malla, Graduate Student, South Dakota State University Abstract—This paper starts with AC and dc microgrids (MGs) which are the key elements for integrating renewable and distributed energy resources as well as distributed energy-storage systems. This paper presents the hierarchical control derived from ISA-95 and electrical dispatching standards to endow smartness and flexibility
